Yep...I was brought up using baking soda. I had/have staining because of 
prolonged use of Tetracyclene...the anti-biotic. I was on it more than not 
as a child for chronic and severe ear infections. I used it to improve the 
appearance of my teeth...and I swear it worked/works. The problem is that 
nowadays if you even breathe a word of using baking soda to the dentist or 
hygenist...they cringe and scold relentlessly because it's supposed to be 
damaging to the tooth's enamel :o( I can't take the chance that they might 
be right because I feel like Devon's teeth are fragile enough because 
they're small...shallow...don't stick out as far as most people's teeth 
do...this one's for you Pam...Devon's teeth don't stick out as far as most 
"genetically correct" people's teeth :o) BUT...I like the idea of natural 
toothpaste :o)
